subject: Green Deal A Step Ahead To Reduce Global Warming [print this page] There has been a gradual effort from all the countries with their exceptional participation in mowing down the green house effect. For this they have been designing several ways to eradicate the Carbon emissions. Britain has taken a step ahead with the Green Deal.
Chris Huhne, Energy Secretary of UK said, The Green Deal will be a revolution. The first scheme of its kind in the developed world. The most ambitious energy-saving plan ever put forward. A once-and-for-all refit that will make every home in Britain ready for a low-carbon future.
The statement is enough to signify UK's gradual advancement towards the energy saving movement. The movement has its motive to reduce the emission of the Green House component, CO2, the main reason for global warming. As learned, Green Deal is the highlight of the Coalition Governments Energy Bill that was proposed to the parliament in December 2010. From 2012, various accredited companies will be providing quality work to the homes, community spaces and businesses without loans or upfront financing.
Energy efficiency measures that these companies will be providing include cavity wall insulation, energy efficient door installation, roof insulation, floor insulation, solid wall insulation, condensing boilers, solar panels, electric storage heaters, ground source heat pumps, photovoltaic PV panels, wind turbines and many more. Households will be provided all these facilities without any upfront cost and will be allowed to pay their dues through instalments on the energy bills. The law envisaged that if any consumer ceases to be the bill payer of a respective property, the obligation moves to the next person using the same property. This means that the consumers only need to pay while they enjoy the benefit of the scheme.
The scheme has the following steps;
* Contact A Green Deal Assessor
The assessors perform Green Deal Assessment on the properties of the consumers. This assessment is to analyse the energy usage by the households. Based on this assessment, the assessors provide energy efficiency recommendations. At the end, Green Deal Reports are prepared which include the recommendations for the suitable plan.
* Go To A Green Deal Provider
They come in when the assessors have prepared the plans on the basis of the assessment. With the report, consumers can approach one of many Green Deal Providers for accessing the finance. The providers also will help the consumers understand the working of the Green Deal Scheme.
* Instruct A Green Deal Installer
Once the providers are ready with the finance, consumers can instruct the installers to implement the energy efficiency measures. The Green Deal Installers will carry out the task according to the recommendations charted out in the Green Deal Report and Green Deal Plan. The installers are paid directly by the providers.
All the above mentioned steps are centred on the key principle that the charge for such installations will not exceed the expected energy savings. The payment period should end before the expiry of the measures. The government also states that the assessors, providers and the installers should be accredited to give advice, finance and installations to the customers. And all this to be done with adherence to the Green Deal Code established.
